The AAMC led more than 50 organizations in a joint letter expressing deep concern that the January 27 executive order restricting the admission of certain foreign nationals and refugees to the United States will disrupt patient care, health education, and medical research. Our organizations are dedicated to promoting a diverse and culturally competent health and biomedical workforce—at home and abroad—that supports improvements in health care, access to providers, breakthroughs in medical research, and equitable health for all patients regardless of their backgrounds.

The AAMC joined an Oct. 24 letter with the Association of American Universities, Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, and the Council on Government Relations with respect to the NIH Policy on the Use of a Single Institutional Review Board for Multi-Site Research (NIH sIRB Policy) which is scheduled to take effect on May 25, 2017.
